Bible Study
So I’ve been taking an hour before bed at night to read the Bible.at first I thought this would be a terrible idea because I’d be tired right? But actually it hasn’t been too bad actually. I’ve really been liking it because I’m not constantly side tracked about what I need to get done, or what I’m going to wear today, or of someone’s going to call me. I do...

The gravity of it all caught up with me one night while sitting and talking with my mom. I blurted out, “I need to know if there is a God out there who loves me. I just want to know if I’m loved, and if I can count on being loved. If I had that, then I would be willing to do anything He asked of me. I wouldn’t care if people thought I was a religious fanatic; I just have to know. I...

My hands and feet get so cold this time of year.
This time of year meaning winter of course…it seems as though they don’t want to stay toasty warm. Anyone have a good way to keep hands and feet warm? Socks don’t even help -.-
Of course having poor circulation probably doesn’t help anything…but it’s not like I’m about to go outside for a run…it’s cold out!

I also wish that this winter would be a winter instead of whatever this is. I’m sick of this...
Something I Really Love

Telling one of Jesus’ parables to someone who has never heard it before.
You see this sense of wonder that Jesus himself must have experienced all the time as people heard his words for the first time.
And for a priest, it tells you that you’re hanging out with the crowd you’re supposed to be hanging out with.
Beautiful words.

I female teacher in my school recently stepped in front of a semi truck and committed suicide. That’s OK, what she does with her own body is her own business and her right.
It really doesn’t matter that the truck driver now has to deal with this or that other cars that swerved were in harm’s way….
If you have haters, don't worry about them. You'll...

…you’re making out with another woman on the sidewalk and don’t realize all those people are in your city to protest abortion and not gay “marriage.”
Pro-choicers can be so weird sometimes.

“In the Old Testament, a tyrant King made Jews either choose to eat pork and break their kosher laws or DIE. Not too far from what Obama is doing to Catholics today with contraception, since listening to conscience will force faithful Catholic institutions everywhere to close if they don’t obey the King, err, I mean Obama.” -Jackie Francois
And the reason you recoil when we call abortion a...

If you’re a Catholic Tumblr-er, reblog so I can follow you!
And then I quickly understood.
I’m not going to explain what I understand, just simply that my high school psychology class actually came in handy today. It actually has a lot, just even more so today, trying to figure out peoples motivations behind doing somethings.
P.S. I CAN BREATHE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye bye cold! Please?

… that once in a while I love being consumed in the glory of Catholicism? With all of her holiness, rituals and mysticism, I can become so absorbed by the sheer awesomeness that I sometimes receive this natural euphoria from it.
It happened to me last night when I was discussing Catholicism with…
So I’m not the only one? YES! I’m not weird!

I definitely come to Tumblr to look at porn for free. Because that’s totally who I am. I don’t care if porn is gay or straight; it’s degrading for anyone to look at. It objectifies the people in the photo, and in turn, causes the people viewing the images, or videos, or whatever, to objectify…
See I think it’s funny how it’s not okay to share my religious...
